<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lid lock device for a vehicle, which allows an operating traction member for drawing back a moving component in emergency to have improved mountability to the vehicle. <P>SOLUTION: In a lid lock device 1, an actuated electric motor 3 rotates a warm wheel 5 so that a lock shaft 6 is advanced or retarded in relation to a housing 2, resulting in the engagement or disengagement with a lid disposed to a vehicle body. The rear end of the lock shaft 6 is connected to an emergency tool 7 integrally formed of a synthetic resin material. An insertion part 66 formed on the lock shaft 6 is inserted in an assembly hole 711 of a shaft engaging part 71, and the emergency tool 7 is then drawn backward so that the insertion part 66 is moved into a slide hole 712 while a partition piece 713 is deflected. Consequently, the emergency tool 7 and the lock shaft 6 are connected. In the case that the lock shaft 6 cannot be returned back by the electric motor 3, an operator pulls the emergency tool 7 for traction of the lock shaft 6. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
